Welcome to Metairie Small Animal Hospital Since 1946, Metairie Small Animal Hospital has helped to strengthen and lengthen the lives of animals, thereby bettering the lives of their human companions. From our humble beginnings of one visionary veterinarian and his brother wanting residents of New Orleans to have access to ethical, educated and reliable veterinary care, we have grown into one of the largest and most respected animal hospital networks in Louisiana. This includes our highly experienced veterinarian team of 15 full time doctors, and over 90 veterinary care support staff. Our team is spread across five satellite veterinary care facilities in Kenner, New Orleans and Metairie, as well as our Main Hospital on Metairie Road.
